The girl traveled through another world and forced the prince to take the imperial examination

Deep in the mountains and ancient forests, a wisp of smoke drifted leisurely among the trees. This wisp of smoke seemed out of place in the wild nature, as if an outsider had intruded into a forbidden area.

Following the smoke, I saw a clearing amidst the dense forest, where three dilapidated thatched houses sat. These huts looked quite old, the thatch on the roofs thinning, the plaster on the walls brittle and brittle. But at least the doors and windows were intact, providing protection from wild animals like pheasants and rabbits.

This is a temporary residence for hunters. Every year during the hunting season, many hunters go into the mountains to hunt. Now is not the hunting season, so the people living here cannot be hunters.

"Spring is so changeable. Why is the weather changing again? I hope our young master won't freeze in this shabby house!"

"He's still a little master! He's already twenty this year. Other people's children his age can already start school. He's such a disappointing guy. He hasn't even touched a woman so far. Humph! I wonder when he'll have a little master!"

"Hey, my ancestor! What's wrong with having a baby? Are you still thinking about taking care of him? I can't take care of a shitty baby. If I could take care of a baby, I wouldn't have run away to this damn place!"

"Hehe! Yeah, back then, this kid was pooping and peeing, making us all miserable. I still remember his crying. It was like a devilish sound when he cried!"

"I'm telling you. It's all your fault, the three of you. You left the child behind and ran away faster than a rabbit. Poor A-Dong was only nine years old at the time, and you had to act like both his father and his mother. It took a lot of effort to raise him. If the three of you had taken good care of him, he wouldn't have suffered so much!"

The other three suddenly fell silent!

A moment later, another voice rang out: "Alright, alright, stop arguing with me. You're still the boss, and you're a bit of a god, but you're not a good person either! Don't act like a treasure in front of your brothers! Why did you sneak away without even saying hello?"

"I..." The man was speechless for a moment and had nothing to say.

The dim cabin fell silent, save for the crackling of burning wood. Yun Qing had long since woken up, lying motionless on a hard wooden bed, covered in a pitch-black, tattered quilt. He swallowed his nausea and listened to their conversation with his eyes closed, his heart growing more and more frightened as he listened.

At first, Yun Qing secretly guessed that these four people were in cahoots with Mo Bei.

Later, as he listened, he finally understood! He realized that these four people were actually his own people! This discovery almost made him vomit blood in anger.

It turned out that these four people were his father's former secret guards! It was even possible that his father had sent them to protect him.

But because he was too young and they didn't want to take care of the baby, they abandoned him to Murdon and disappeared without a trace.

They were right. Back then, as a young boy, he was trapped in a palace fraught with danger. If it weren't for his aunt's protection, he would have died long ago. He would never forget the bloodbath at Chonghua Palace that day, when Mo Dong fled with him on his back, covered in blood. Mo Dong was probably no more than fifteen years old that year!

Back then, if Chonghua Palace had these four masters protecting him, who would dare to bully him? Unfortunately, he no longer needed these four people.

Moreover, after Mo Bei's betrayal, Yun Qing had some concerns about these four people who suddenly appeared. Wasn't their timing too coincidental? If they were intentional, what was their purpose? They wouldn't be like Mo Bei, saving her on purpose just to gain his trust and achieve their goals.

These four people are indeed top masters. Just by listening to Yun Qing's breathing for a few breaths, they can tell that he has woken up.

The four of them turned to look at Yun Qing, who stopped pretending and struggled to get up. His left shoulder had been pierced by Mo Bei's sword, leaving him severely injured and bleeding profusely. After struggling for a few moments, he felt dizzy and dazed.

"Cough cough cough cough... Uh! Um, um, this subordinate greets the young master!" This is the person who calls himself the boss.

The others also quickly stood up and saluted Yun Qing respectfully.

Yun Qing lay on the hard bed with a cold face, not wanting to pay any attention to them. Since he couldn't get up, he could only struggle to push the dirty quilt aside. He didn't know if there were fleas or other insects on the quilt. Just looking at it made him itch all over.

The four old secret guards twitched their lips when they saw this, secretly praising him in their hearts, saying that he was indeed the son of their master, just a bit pretentious!

"Young Master, are you hungry?"

"Oh! Yes, yes, we just roasted the pheasant and rabbit. What would you like to eat?

"Ouch! You are such idiots! It's so hard, how can our little master eat it? Can't you cut it into small pieces?"

"Yes, yes, yes, look at my brain, second brother, quickly take your butcher knife and chop all these into pieces."

The second brother was really straightforward. He pulled out his butcher knife and asked, "How much do you want it to be cut into pieces?"

"The more broken the better!"

I saw a pheasant being thrown into the air, and after a few swings of the machete, the pheasant was broken into pieces.

The eldest brother wrapped the chopped chicken in a large leaf and walked to Yun Qing's bed with a flattering smile on his face.

Yun Qing took a look at the black debris in the leaves and was absolutely sure that these people did it on purpose.

"Come, come, little master, eat quickly, eat quickly!"

Yun Qing was so angry that he laughed. He turned his head away and ignored them: "I don't know you, please don't call me master."

The four of them looked at each other, and the eldest hurriedly put down the leaves and the broken chicken, and led the other three to kowtow to Yun Qing solemnly and acknowledge his master.

"I've been roaming the streets and alleys for so many years, and everyone calls me a fortune teller. I almost forgot I have another name, Cang Xu, which was given to me by my master."

"My name is Cang Huai, and everyone calls me Er Kui. I'm a butcher! But I'm also the Crown Prince's secret guard."

"My name is Cang Hua. I am a fisherman. I am also the Crown Prince's secret guard."

"My name is Cangnan." This is the woodcutter who kills people and likes to dismember them. He is a cruel man who speaks little.

Yun Qing felt mixed emotions after hearing this: "Since you are my father's secret guard, you are my elder. You don't have to bow to me, and I am not your master. Your master will always be him."

This was true. When he was young and helpless, these people were able to cruelly abandon him, which showed that they did not regard him as their master.

The four men knelt on the ground, their hearts swirling with emotion. They had left because of their own reasons, but they had ultimately disobeyed their master's orders, and they felt guilty.

Cang Xu: "Ahem! This is a long story. Hi, hi, hi, my dear, don't be angry. I held you in my arms when you were little."

Cang Huai: "Boss, you are not being honest. Who among us hasn't hugged someone before?"

Cang Hua: "I hugged you too, and you peed all over me!"

Cangnan: "I haven't hugged you."

"..."

The three of them looked at Cangnan together, feeling so disappointed in him that they wanted to sew his mouth shut.

Yun Qing sneered: "I don't know that. I only know that since I can remember, the person who hugged me and made me happy was Modong, the person who carried me on his back to escape was Modong, and the person who tried to save me and whose life or death was unknown was also Modong."

The four of them were silent for a while.

"It's okay if you don't remember your childhood. We've been by your side for the past two years and have saved you many times. Do you still remember?"

Yun Qing glanced at the four people and couldn't believe it. He had been poisoned by the drunken dream for the past two years and was insensitive. If they were really by his side, he really wouldn't be able to feel them.

He didn't believe it, so Yun Qing gave them another cold look and let them figure it out for themselves.
